The Plaintiffs sought a Mareva injunction against their deceased son's estate, his company, and his common-law spouse, alleging fraud and misappropriation of funds.
The court dismissed the motion against the Estate and the company due to insufficient evidence and procedural issues (lack of appointed estate trustee, uncorroborated evidence under the Evidence Act).
However, the motion was granted in part against the common-law spouse, Rounak Farrokhi Koukia, specifically for e-transfers made from the Plaintiffs' accounts after the son's death, finding a strong prima facie case of unjust enrichment and a real risk of dissipation.
The Mareva injunction against Ms. Koukia was limited to $40,000.
